§ 1 — Meaning of the string Q118·Q120
"fujitv" is the well-known broadcast brand of the applicant, Fuji Television Network, Inc., abbreviated from its corporate name. "Fuji TV" has been the company's established broadcast brand for decades.
Romaji: fujitv / IPA: [fujitv]
§ 2 — Mission and purpose Q133
Mission and Purpose
The .fujitv top-level domain is intended to benefit Internet users by enabling FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC. (hereinafter "The Company") to communicate more easily, securely and effectively with all Internet users, and particularly with its viewers, customers, employees and affiliates. The TLD will serve as a dedicated branding, technology and services platform for The Company's mission and its businesses.
Mission and purpose. FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC. is a corporation headquartered at 4-8 Daiba 2-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, operating in television broadcasting under the Broadcast Act and in broadcasting operations generally; the production, sale, distribution and import and export of broadcast programmes, sound recordings, video recordings and motion pictures; the publication and sale of publications; and the development, instruction and sale of broadcasting-related technology and of electronic and information equipment and the technologies for their use. "fujitv" is the Company's own corporate brand, by which FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC. is known to its viewers and by which it is identified online. The purpose of the .fujitv TLD is to provide a trusted, exclusively controlled namespace - operated by or on behalf of The Company - for the distribution and exchange of information among The Company and its stakeholders via websites, applications, email and other online services that reside within the .fujitv space. By consolidating The Company's online presence under a single authoritative TLD, .fujitv gives users a reliable signal of authenticity and reduces the risk of phishing, spoofing and brand abuse.
Intended registrants and users. .fujitv is a single-registrant ".brand" TLD operated under ICANN Registry Agreement Specification 13. The Company will be the sole registrant: it initially intends to reserve all names within the TLD for itself and to register and use second-level domains for its own purposes and those of its group companies. Any third-party use of a domain would occur only under a contract with The Company that limits use to purposes The Company specifies, enforced through monitoring and prompt action. The users of the TLD are The Company's viewers, customers, employees, partners and affiliates worldwide, who will rely on .fujitv domains to reach The Company's official online services.
Activities to achieve this purpose. The Company will use .fujitv domains for its corporate and programme websites, viewer-facing and customer-facing services, secure communications and email, and may provide related services such as hosting, content delivery and marketing under the TLD. The .fujitv TLD extends and protects The Company's established Internet presence under a namespace it fully controls.
Sustainability over time. The Company was incorporated on October 1, 2008 and has operated continuously since, continuing a broadcasting business established in Japan well before that date. The .fujitv TLD is intended as long-term infrastructure for that business, not as a speculative or transitional namespace, and The Company intends to operate it for the full term of the Registry Agreement and to renew it thereafter.
Competition, differentiation and innovation. .fujitv does not compete with existing generic TLDs for registrations, because it is not open to third-party registration. It differentiates The Company's authentic online presence from look-alike domains in open TLDs, and allows The Company to design a namespace whose structure reflects its own programmes, services and organisation rather than the constraints of a shared registry.

Q121As per Section 3(d) of Specification 11 of the Base Registry Agreement, a registry operator of a “generic string” may not impose eligibility criteria for registering names in the TLD that limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity and/or that person’s or entity’s “Affiliates” (as defined in Section 2.9(c) of the Registry Agreement). “Generic String” means a string consisting of a word or term that denominates or describes a general class of goods, services, groups, organizations or things, as opposed to distinguishing a specific brand of goods, services, groups, organizations or things from those of others. Confirm that the applied-for string is not a “generic string” in which the applying entity intends to limit registrations exclusively to a single person or entity.
